Chiropractic Care for Latching Issues in Wesley Chapel, FL

Gentle Chiropractic Support for Breastfeeding Challenges in Wesley Chapel, FL

At Eden Chiropractic in Wesley Chapel, FL, we understand how important the breastfeeding journey is for both mother and baby. When that journey is disrupted due to latching issues, it can lead to frustration, worry, and unnecessary stress. What many families don’t realize is that spinal misalignments in newborns—especially those involving the upper neck and jaw—can directly affect a baby’s ability to latch properly.

Our chiropractic approach focuses on identifying and correcting the root cause of these issues using the precise and gentle Gonstead Technique. This technique allows us to deliver safe, specific adjustments that help restore normal function without twisting, cracking, or unnecessary force—making it especially suitable for infants.

What Causes Latching Issues?

Latching issues can stem from a variety of factors, but one of the most overlooked is misalignment or subluxation in the upper cervical spine (neck) and cranial structures. These misalignments can occur due to:

  • Difficult or prolonged labor
  • Forceps or vacuum-assisted delivery
  • C-section births
  • Intrauterine constraint
  • Rapid delivery or excessive traction during birth

When there’s tension or misalignment in the spine or jaw, it can interfere with an infant’s ability to open their mouth fully, coordinate sucking, or maintain a strong latch.

Signs Your Baby May Be Struggling With Latching

  • Difficulty staying latched
  • Clicking or smacking sounds while nursing
  • Fussiness at the breast
  • Poor weight gain
  • Gassy or colicky behavior
  • Preference for one breast or nursing position

As chiropractors trained in infant care, we look beyond the symptoms and examine the whole structure of your baby’s spine and nervous system.

How Gonstead Chiropractic Helps

The Gonstead Technique is known for its specificity and results. For infants, adjustments are gentle and delivered with a light fingertip pressure—no more than what you’d use to test the ripeness of a peach.

At Eden Chiropractic, our chiropractors:

  • Perform a thorough structural and neurological assessment
  • Focus on the upper neck and cranial alignment
  • Use safe, age-appropriate adjustments to improve nerve function and reduce tension

Many parents notice an immediate improvement in nursing comfort and effectiveness after just a few visits. As the spine and nervous system normalize, babies are often able to latch more efficiently and feed more peacefully.
